John W. Burshtan

Television Producer - Director - Writer - Show Runner - Creative Consultant

I tell the stories of America.

I build teams to create and develop innovative, intelligent programming with established production companies, and on my own.

I bring decades of experience in producing and directing quality television, both live and pre-taped. My specialty is non-fiction, including documentaries and reality series. I have wide-ranging experience with nature programs, history, food, news and public affairs, magazines, childrenā€˜s shows, variety programs, and game shows.

My work has aired on the BBC, PBS, FOX, ABC, HGTV, History, Travel Channel, Food Network, MTV, Nickelodeon, AXS and others. I have extensive international production experience in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, South Africa, Australia, Mexico, and Malta.

In addition, I have worked on a number of video projects for the National Park Service, as well as corporate informational and training videos.

I pride myself on meeting deadlines and budgeting goals.
